Today's
Ukraine is a
Nation of
youth seeking
out their own
identity as a
Nation and at
the same time
looking
westward for
opportunity
that was
previously
unavailable.
Throughout the
entire
Country, this
scenario holds
true. Young
people of
Ukraine want
to be a part
of the World
community and
enjoy the
benefits that
go along with
learning and
understanding
westernism and
the English
language. This
fact, along
with the love
of western
music and
curiosity
surrounding
it, leads to
the obvious
conclusion:
young people
are eager for
opportunities
to expand
their
horizons, are
open to new
and
interesting
ideas, which
our
programming
brings to
them, a window
to the
world.
